This Waterjet Cuts Through Anything

There’s a Lithuanian saying: a drop after a drop can crack even a rock. But one YouTube channel decided to speed up the process and picked up a 60,000 psi (pounds per square inch) to slice things: “We were told that a waterjet can cut through anything so we decided to put that to the test.” Their device can even go through a bowling ball like a knife through butter.

What do you think ?

What they don't explain though is that it's not just pure water. The water is mixed with some kind of pulverized abrasive like aluminum and that mixture is what actually allows it to cut through metal and bowling balls, etc. Pure water jets can only cut through softer stuff like rubber.
